The JSTOR database has been expanded.

Previously, we subscribed to the Life Sciences Collection through JSTOR, but we have recently added two new collections that greatly increase our available resources. The JSTOR collections available through NWOSU Library Services now include:

Arts & Sciences I

Core research and society publications in the represented disciplines (economics, history, political science, & sociology).

Arts & Sciences XII

Focused on more than 30 arts, humanities, and social science disciplines on JSTOR, as well as business, finance, and health science fields; captures titles that cross discipline boundaries, with titles in more disciplines than in any other JSTOR collection.

Life Sciences

Merges the Biological Sciences and Health & General Science Collections together into a single multidisciplinary collection; extraordinary depth in the field sciences and coverage in medicine, nursing, epidemiology, and public health.

New to the library’s collection of databases is the Mometrix eLibrary containing practice exams and exam preparation tools.

For Nursing, this new collection includes testing materials for the CNA and NCLEX exams.

For Education, it includes a wide array of materials for the OGET, OPTE, and OSATs.

The collection also includes testing materials for the ACT, GRE, and MAT.

EBSCO, one of the largest providers of our online content, has updated some of its database systems.

These databases now come with complementary collections of full-text reference works.

Although these new reference databases are aimed primarily at public libraries or younger students, they nonetheless expand our reference collection considerably and may be of use for rapidly garnering overview information on a wide variety of topics.

The new databases are as follows:
